There’s a literal Spring in our step as we guardedly envision a post-pandemic, mostly-vaccinated world where actual human contact no longer seems like a luxury. With guarded optimism, we’re making plans for the summer, celebrating a book deal and a move to New York City, and hashing out how our businesses can work together to showboat some of the best writers in the Dad 2.0 Community.

We also have a passionate debate over the merits of April Fool’s pranks, recount the highlights of our Fatherhood on the First newsletter, and Jeff offers to host the next IRL Summit in his apartment.
